So far the double app doesn't bother me (we'll see if it gets wearing ) - but staying in Workflow is clunky, so I finished my "Nighttime" workflow with opening safari. There's at least some chance I'll want t

For informational purposes: The way it lets workflows create apps, is that it creates a data url, that it opens in safari, and l has you bookmark that URL to your home screen. When opened as one of those safari web apps, the javascript on

Downloaded – and then tried to implement the three work workflows I use on my iPhone all the time. (That I can think of off the top of my head). It succeeded in two of the three cases and on the third it still reduces the number of clicks.

I for one am not against regulation, but rather the overhead of large amounts of required documentation. These are burdens that hit small companies the hardest. And the are burdens that are generally not imposed by the regulations passed

That would be an interesting article, this one however was kinda pointless, as it appeared to be predicated on prices not rising, with only a tiny call out to frosty pod.

That is a good story! Beyond the hunk of gold, they could also have the king of Sweden hand you the hunk of gold. I think that's a good touch.

I know people who have lived off the grid (or on a boat), without a paying job, happily. It does get wearing, and people don't seem to do it for too long - but that can be years. (To give some examples of lifestyles that do not require

I have a good friend who works at an agency and he does it for these reasons: 1) As a consultant you have to be constantly networking, and selling yourself, to keep the pipeline full. He hates that, being on the antisocial side. 2) As an e

Interesting - I've worked at US companies with policies just like the one at the top of that page. I had no clue they were illegal. Hard to enforce was obvious though, and I do remember breaking such a policy at least once.

So the argument here is that we are trusting github not the author of the software. And that way we can trust the code audit we do on GitHub to be the same as the downloaded software. So we don't have to use our own software tools to d

It's a self-signed cert - and just as encrypted as it would be with a traditionally signed cert. This is the half of SSL that I care about - I really don't care if you handed your money over to some organization that verified you

I clicked on this figuring I'd look at some pretty pictures of toys for the ultra-rich, but as it turns out people are still coming up with new and interesting things to do with watch movements. It was unexpectedly fascinating - thoug

My goal was not to quantify anything - nor provide you with any answers except to the question about why would someone downvote a comment that asks "What so bad about distributing Tesla vehicles through a dealership franchise?" To

I did not downvote - but if I had it wouldn't have been about freedom, it would have been about prices and corruption. How much overhead do all those pointless, and expensive dealer employees add to the cost of my car? And in particul

I did this. We broke up within six months after 5 years together. The firm - though no longer a start up (the breakup juggled priorities and set us on the path of a bootstrapped traditional firm) is still run profitably, nearly 9 years late

Snowwrestlers point is interesting, why is a warrant needed for a phone tap? You are clearly enlisting a 3rd parties help, and I think the general public knows that their phone company can listen in on their calls... People are clearly sh

I am almost the same as you except: 1) No desktop features are of any interest to me. 2) My position is between "that sucks" and "ambivalent" But I do think that going with the flow is a much easier way. This isn’t a fi

Forever, till this very day and presumably forever more. If there’s anything this debate shows me, it’s that people have VERY different experiences with SysV init.

Five years ago I had 20 casual friends and 2 close friends and then I met my wife. Now I have 60 casual friends and 3 close friends - including her. Getting married has been nothing but good for my social life.

I'm not certain there is a direct correlation between the apps that make the most money in the App Store, and the apps that people spend the most time in. It would mean that all the built in apps, and all the free apps in the App Store

Interesting - the only 2 daycares I know well enough to know the policy (if you want to call it that), both accept glass - or rather whatever you bring in. Both expensive places in center Seattle. I didn't even know there was another

Not the op - but I do have a kid and don't have a car in Wallingford (Seattle) and it's very pleasant. But I don't travel beyond one transfer, and rarely that. And I do use car2go, or hertz, or my bike, if such travel is requ

The normal way is that initially, when the taxi commission is formed the agency sells them, and then after that the medallions are in private hands, and are a resell-able asset of the company that owns them. Here's an article on such a
